Well, I may have just assumed that if they spent three days in a blizzard with hardly any food and didn't require medical treatment, that they probably had some sort of fire going.

I'll have to take your word for it about the shorts and sweatshirt, as I don't have a membership on the news site you posted. Also, I don't know which missing party that referred to.

Since two climbers died, apparently because they weren't properly equipped for blizzard conditions, it's obvious that not everyone was prepared. And it may be that not everyone in each party was survival-smart, maybe just one or two in each group. But the ones that were prepared and survived the incident with little or no lasting effects deserve a pat on the back. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
